The new music video from Catey Shaw is getting skewered for its stereotypical portrayal of the New York borough.

But is it as bad as critics claim? Or are they just haters?

Posted on YouTube this week, the video shows Shaw sitting in front of a brownstone with friends and dancing at a backyard party. There are also plenty of shots of graffiti, chain-link fences, and tattooed and pierced women.

"Brooklyn girls. When they walk in, they rule the world. Brooklyn girls. Tough and pretty, break the rules," Shaw sings in the refrain.
